2GB Nvidia GeForce GT 730

So I have a new computer with a 2GB Nvidia GeForce GT 730, but when I go to look at what video adapter is being used I get the Intel internal 520. I'm attached to my monitor via an HDMI cable. So how do I use the Nvidia card?

Made changes in the BIOs that was set to AUTO. On boot I see a Nvidia Control panel icon but it states currently not using Nvidia card. More options in display; calibrations, color, etc. but still seeing non-HD in Amazon.

You have to disable Intel Graphic Card from BIOS.

The drivers were installed and I see it in device manager. I updated and rebooted. I have a VGA cable so I can get to BIOS and go back to 'auto'. I uninstalled Nvidia card rebooted and reinstalled - no HDMI now, just VGA and too top it all off the screen res is just slightly larger than the monitor - unable to 'squeeze if smaller in the monitor controls just horizontal and vertical axis.

i saw your speaker was disabled - were ALL drivers for your pc installed?
if not that's a good way to start : chipset, video, sound driver...
